Well, the seller does describe the condition as 'Acceptable'. I always wonder what that means; 'acceptable' to whom?
But later in the description, the condition is downgraded (I suppose) to 'good'. "GEORG ALLEN & UNWIN LTD second impression 1962 hard cover + jacket 63 + 1 page good condition" What's the '+1' page, I wonder?

The buyer has to decide for themselves if they are happy with the books condition, and they can not do that until they have received the book and looked at it.
